GitHub versions since 6.8p1 do not include the ChangeLog file.
The changelog is generated at release from the git log. It doesn't exist as a file in the repository, but you can see exactly the same information using 'git log' or https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commits/master
Thanks for the info. One other newbie question: In the release tarball, there are some *.0 man pages. I would be grateful for insight into their generation and how they differ from the regular man pages that are on github. Thanks again.

They're generated by the Makefile: https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/master/Makefile.in#L281 Basically it's going to run something like "nroff -mandoc ssh.1 >ssh.0" (exact command depending on your system, see https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/master/configure.ac#L51).
